Got the bow last night from Travis and opened it this morning. Excellent glue lines and finish. Travis could i put a fast flight string on it? Looks like i can. It will get shot this weekend. Bonus i have an extra tube to ship with.

when you get a bow you have to post pictures, more than 4

Mike, a bow I just made for myself with brown glass came out at 67# when it should have been 50#. Still trying to figure out why. My swap bow using green glass came out perfect.

Max, will post pictures this weekend. Travis that Zircote in the handle is gorgeous. By the way it shoots my arrows like all the other longbow I have.

Buemaker · March 19, 2021, 07:19:42 PM

Looks great now Max, riser too. Do you use VHT to finish it?

Mo_coon-catcher · March 19, 2021, 07:23:38 PM

I did a little work today. The picture is just a little shy of full draw but pretty only a couple inches shy. I didn't realize I was pulling a bit shy until I pulled a pic from the video. But it's about right I'm weight and feels good shooting. So I've started the finish work. Going with some ball python sheds for decoration.

Okay I got a box from Mr. Roy today .A tri lam boo backed. Really nice craftsmanship. also a leather cupped stringer. I shot it 15 or 20 times so far. Pretty impressed with its manners. And it hits hard to. Shooting 600 carbons. Feels like about 45 lbs. Roy ?
Had a shoulder injection a couple of days ago so dont want to get too carried away yet. Try to utube it soon tho.
